Here’s the bad news
Man fell from grace
Disobeyed his Father
And thus condemned his race
Here’s the bad news
Man fell from grace
Here’s the bad news
We’re all gonna die
Our bones will sink into the earth
Our ashes float upon the sky
Here’s the bad news
We’re all gonna die
But here’s the good news
God sent His Son
The baby in the stable
Was the Anointed One
Here’s the good news
God sent His Son
But here’s some bad news
The man without sin
Brought us the love of God
Yet he was slain by men
Here’s the bad news
He was slain by men
And here’s some bad news
They laid Him in a tomb
Then they rolled a solid rock
That sealed the world in gloom
Here’s the bad news
They laid Him in a tomb
But here’s the good news
Jesus is alive!
He rose up from the grave
They saw Him with their eyes
Here's the good news
Jesus is alive!
And here’s the gospel
He will save your soul
Just believe in Him
And confess your sin
He will make you whole
Here’s the good news
He will save your soul
But here’s some bad news
It ain’t over yet
We’ve still got a race to run
And Satan’s takin’ bets
Here’s the bad news
It ain’t over yet.
And here’s some bad news
We just slip and slide
We want to be faithful
But we stumble on our pride
Here’s the bad news
We just slip and slide
But here’s the good news
Jesus forgives
Our Father sees His precious Son
In our hearts where He lives
Here’s the good news
Jesus forgives
And here’s the gospel
He will save your soul
Just believe in Him
And confess your sin
He’ll make you whole
Here’s the good news
He will save your soul
Yes here’s the good news
He has saved my soul
